"Might I remind you, sir, I was once protocol droid to the chief negotiator for the entire Manakron system."
―C-3PO — 20?cb=20250116042720 ▶️ (file info)[2]

The Manakron system was a star system[2] located in the Mid Rim Territories' Tashtor sector, situated in grid square I-16 of the Standard Galactic Grid.[1] By the year 32 BBY,[3] as well as before being rebuilt by Anakin Skywalker[4] on Tatooine,[5] C-3PO served as a protocol droid for the chief negotiator of the Manakron system, a role he later mentioned as he was tortured by the bounty hunter Cad Bane during the Clone Wars.[2]

Behind the scenes

The Manakron system was first mentioned in "Evil Plans,"[2] the eighth episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series' third season, which aired on November 5, 2010.[6] The idea of C-3PO serving as chief negotiator of the Manakron system supports the original notes Star Wars creator George Lucas had for A New Hope, which stated that C-3PO was over 100 years old in the film, and thus Anakin Skywalker did not build him from scratch.[7]
